After a lengthy development process, Windows Vista was released on November 30, 2006, for volume licensing and January 30, 2007, for consumers. It contained a number of new features, from a redesigned shell and user interface to significant technical changes, with a particular focus on security features. It was available in a number of different editions, and has been subject to some criticism,
such as drop of performance, longer boot time, criticism of new UAC,
and stricter license agreement. Vista's server counterpart, Windows Server 2008 was released in early 2008.Windows 7

On July 22, 2009, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
were released as RTM (release to manufacturing) while the former was
released to the public 3 months later on October 22, 2009. Unlike its
predecessor, Windows Vista, which introduced a large number of new features,
Windows 7 was intended to be a more focused, incremental upgrade to the
Windows line, with the goal of being compatible with applications and
hardware with which Windows Vista was already compatible.[31] Windows 7 has multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows shell with an updated taskbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup,[32] and performance improvements.
